Florida State quarterbacks James Blackman and Jordan Travis address the media

After the second practice of fall, Florida State Seminoles football quarterbacks James Blackman and Jordan Travis took the time to sit down with the media, answering questions on the new offensive system as well as what they’ve seen so far from some of the newbies.

Blackman took time to recognize Carter Boatwright’s contributions so far, though he said he couldn’t single out one just person who’s impressed him so far. Travis spoke on working through camp alongside Blackman, how he’s looking forward to proving he’s more than just a runner and how his brother, former Florida State baseball player Devon Travis, set an example for him.

Take a look through some brief quotes and watch the full interviews below:

On the new running backs:

Blackman: “That running back room is so blessed.”

Travis: “They’re really fast and really talented.”

On learning a new system:

Blackman: “Coach Norvell can make anything easy.”

Travis: “I’ve learned a lot of things this year that I had never learned about football.”

On throwing mechanics:

On Tamorrion Terry bulking up:

Blackman: “That’s the same Scary T. He don’t change. You can tell how motivated he is going into the season.”

On learning from former Florida State baseball player Devon Travis:
